i recently got a 6month old female leopard gecko that had been kept with another female leo... the two geckos had to be seperated because they were fighting alot, i was wondering would the same thing happen if i was to get another similar aged female? i really dont know if its worth the risk of more fighting... i have the leo in a large terranium with more than enough room for two, im not desperate for another leo i was just thinkin she might like some company as alot of people do keep them in pairs.

any advice would be greatly appreciated

a male and female wen attempting breeding are very noisey and the male is known to bite her around the neck and ear area.

ive seen the v shape in a book ive got and she has nothing that looks like that at all... apparently the other gecko was a little bit bigger than her so maybe that had something to do with it, i also read on a website that if the eggs are not heated correctly it can make them anti social... i have no idea if there is any truth in this.

When you incubate leo's you do it cooler for females hotter for males. Sometimes you get 'hot females' that do tend to be aggressive and dont breed either. I've also heard that Jungle's are bullies but dont know how much truth there is in that. What morph are yours?
